  1. 360 EE 9.5.0.138, 11.0.2251.0, 12.0.1592.0, 13.0.2250.0 (Russian Repack)
  2.  
  3. The 9.5.0.138 is version 9
  4. The 11.0.2251.0 is version 11 and build 2251
  5. The 12.0.1592.0 is version 12 and build 1592
  6. The 13.0.2250.0 is version 13 and build 2250
  7.  
  8. When I refer to v9, It means the last build of v9. The same applies to v11, v12 and v13 (the final release of v13 is not out yet).
  9.  
  10. - Downloads from:
  11. https://lrepacks.net/repaki-programm-dlya-interneta/182-360-extreme-explorer-amp-portable.html
  12.  
  13. Do all of this without internet connection.
  14.  
  15.  
  16. Steps to unpack the browser:
  17.  
  18. - Run the file "Распаковка portable.cmd" (for version 9).
  19. - Run the file "_Unpack Portable.cmd" (for version 11 and up).
  20. - When the process ends, open the "360Chrome" folder and from there do the following:
  21.  
  22.  
  23. A) Remove these files (in /Chrome/Application/9.5.0.138 for v9, or /Chrome/Application/Version.0.Build.0 for v11 and up):
  24.  
  25. - newtab.zip
  26. - errorpage.zip
  27.  
  28. When you open a new tab in the browser, the newtab.zip is loaded and it connects the browser to chinese stuff. The second file is displayed in chinese when the browser fails connecting to a web page.
  29.  
  30.  
  31. B) Modify the file "appstore.js" inside "options.zip" (in /Chrome/Application/9.5.0.138 for v9, or /Chrome/Application/Version.0.Build.0 for v11 and up).
  32.  
  33. I used 7zip (https://www.7-zip.org/) to open the "options.zip" file, then I right clicked the "appstore.js" file and selected "Edit".
  34.  
  35. I removed the entries: "https://ext.chrome.360.cn/webstore/detail/", "https://ext.chrome.360.cn/tabextension/get_json" and "#appstorePage .network-error".
  36.  
  37. The first two entries unable the browser from connecting to the chinese appstore everytime you enter the browser settings. The third one involves the removal of the "error page" in the "Adfilter" option (in browser settings) when the browser can not connect to the chinese appstore while entering the "Adfilter" option. The third entry is optional, I removed it because it displays stuff in chinese.
  38.  
  39.  
  40. C) Modify the file "Preferences" (in Chrome/User Data/Default for v9 and up)
  41.  
  42. Open the file with notepad and search for the "accept_languages" entry and then replace the line:
  43.  
  44. "accept_languages": "ru-RU,ru,en-US,en"
  45.  
  46. by
  47.  
  48. "accept_languages": "en-US,en".
  49.  
  50. This action allows the display of websites in English and not in Russian.
  51.  
  52. Also if you are running v12 and v13 be sure to make this change:
  53. search for the "jisu9_dark" entry and then replace the line:
  54.  
  55. "id": "jisu9_dark",
  56.  
  57. by
  58.  
  59. "id": "jisu9_chrome",
  60.  
  61. This changes the theme to the white theme. If you leave it in the dark theme everytime you load the browser and enter the bookmark manager (for the first time) the browser will establish a connection with a cloudflare IP related to China that loads a single and very small image that is not visible (very strange).
  62.  
  63.  
  64. D) Modify the file "chrome.dll" (in /Chrome/Application/9.5.0.138 for v9, or /Chrome/Application/Version.0.Build.0 for v11 and up)
  65.  
  66. I used the "HxD Hex Editor" program (https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/).
  67.  
  68. This section is only to replace stuff. All the removed stuff was replaced by dots (dot = 2E) to avoid modifying the structure and size of the "chrome.dll" file.
  69.  
  70. - Replace all ".cn" entries with 3 dots and each one of the entries "360.", ".360", "101.", "106.", "123." and "210." with 4 dots.
  71.  
  72. Removing the ".cn", "360." and ".360" entries does not seem to be necessary but I recommend to do it anyway for safety.
  73.  
  74. The "33 00 36 00 30 00 2e" Replacement:
  75.  
  76. - For v9 replace every hexadecimal code "33 00 36 00 30 00 2e" by
  77. "2e 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e" (If you open "New incognito window", chinese IP addresses appear if you do not make this replacement).
  78.  
  79. - The replacement is not needed for v11.
  80.  
  81. - For v12 replace every hexadecimal code "33 00 36 00 30 00 2e" by
  82. "2e 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e" (Everytime you open the browser, chinese IP addresses appear if you do not make this replacement).
  83.  
  84. - It is not necessary for v13.
  85.  
  86. I have no clue of why it works like that.
  87.  
  88.  
  89. E) Change the following browser preferences (Obligatory and Optional):
  90.  
  91. Go to the "360Chrome" folder and run the "360Loader.exe". When the browser opens, type "chrome://settings" in the URL bar and then do the following:
  92.  
  93.  
  94. *Obligatory (for v9 and up)
  95.  
  96. 1) In "Basics":
  97.  
  98. - Type the homepage you would like to have (example: https://www.google.com/, https://www.duckduckgo.com/, etc.).
  99.  
  100. - Change the search engine to the one you want to use in "Manage search engines...". To add a search engine, fill the following boxes: "Add a new search engine", "Keyword" and "URL with %s in place of query". Example:
  101.  
  102. For Google:
  103.  
  104. Add a new search engine = Google
  105. Keyword = google
  106. URL with %s in place of query = https://www.google.com/search?q=%s
  107.  
  108. For DuckDuckGo:
  109.  
  110. Add a new search engine = DuckDuckGo
  111. Keyword = duckduckgo
  112. URL with %s in place of query = https://www.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s
  113.  
  114. Then push Enter and place your mouse to the right of the filled "URL with %s in place of query" box. You will see a button that says "Make Default". When you see it, click it.
  115.  
  116. - Uncheck "Check default browser setting at startup".
  117.  
  118. 2) In "UI style":
  119.  
  120. Uncheck the following:
  121. - "Enable intelligent URL (Recommended)" (chinese IP adresses appear every time you type something in the URL bar when this option is enabled. My guess is that those IP represent the fetching of the logos of the chinese pages displayed when you type something there).
  122.  
  123. 3) In "Advanced":
  124.  
  125. Uncheck the following:
  126. - "Join user experience plan to help us improve our products".
  127.  
  128.  
  129. *Optional: You can choose not to do this step. These options vary in each version whether they are present or not, and if they are present, whether they are checked or unchecked. Either way check or uncheck as follows:
  130.  
  131. 1) In "UI style":
  132.  
  133. Uncheck the following:
  134. - "Always show status bar" (the bar occupies part of the screen).
  135. - "Enable url autocomplete" (I think it may improve performance).
  136. - "Show url QR code". (I do not use it).
  137. - "Show copy paste helper" (it is displayed in chinese everytime you click any text written in the URL bar).
  138.  
  139. 2) In "Download":
  140.  
  141. Uncheck the following:
  142. - "Use thunder p2sp download." (I do not know what it is).
  143. - "Using 360 browser to decompress safely" (I do not know what it is).
  144. - "Enable saving images quickly." (I do not use it).
  145.  
  146. 3) In "Personal stuff":
  147.  
  148. Uncheck the following:
  149. - "Prompt the user while saving password.".
  150. - "Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click.".
  151.  
  152. I do not recommend storing sensitive information on any browser.
  153.  
  154. 4) In "Advanced":
  155.  
  156. Uncheck the following:
  157. - "Enable speed optimizations" (I do not know what kind of optimization will perform).
  158. - "Enable smooth scrolling" (I think it consumes memory).
  159. - "Enable automatic translation" (It consumes resources).
  160. - "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" (I do not know that web service).
  161. - "Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly" (I do not know what it does).
  162. - "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" (I do not know what kind of protection it is).
  163. - "Speed up the browser with smart prereading" (I do not think that it improves the performance).
  164.  
  165. 5) In "Lab":
  166.  
  167. I unchecked the following:
  168.  
  169. - "Speed up the download with the thundercloud acceleration engine" (I do not like how it sounds and what it can actually do).
  170. - "Use hardware acceleration when available" (I had never had a better performance with it).
  171. - "Enable the use of experimental DirectWrite font rendering system" (I do not like the term "experimental").
  172. - "IE kernal popup opens in a new tab".
  173. - "IE kernal enable data execution prevention(DEP)" (I do not know what it is).
  174. - "support native accessbility".
  175. - "Power Save".
  176.  
  177. check the following:
  178. - "Disable And Hide Snap Plugin In Toolbar". (I do not know what it is)
  179.  
  180.  
  181. At the end just run 360loader.exe to use the browser.
